Does your 103 make 110/111 on the dyno?
My 103 makes 110/111 on the dyno and that was before the new cam set up that they are using. I am sure they are making more now. George and his crew are the best. Was not so very long ago a PA-based tuning center tuned a 103" combo we had built several years prior, and just finally got it tuned after maaaaaaaaaany miles.

Doing my 103 build and new bearings in ,crank is in ,seals are in, cases put back together. Had cylinders machined to fit new pistons. When I checked pistons they are marked STD (which is 1550 or 3.875") but they are actually 3.885 which equates to +.010 ? Luckily we measured pistons and fitted them based on that and not the sizes on the sheets.

You are welcome and I have an update. I typed in those kit numbers on the off chance I would see something related. Wow. I"m not the only one. One guy (must be an builder) bought five sets and all 5 were the same. Marked std but actually .010 + with std rings.

I agree it's always better to mic things out first, I pulled & rebuilt a '73 Pinto 2000cc inline 4, after I got it back together, Oil light came on, I shut it down & after some investigating I found out the Block from the factory was "Line-bored" .010' oversized...needless to say I had to special order a set of Main bearings (Federal Mogal) that were thicker than what the supply houses normally carried.

Wonder who is filling these packages, Made and packaged here or over seas, where is the quality control. Bet The MOCO has alot of builders upset here,Good for you checking before you had a major problem, it pays to check and double check details like this, Jack

Are you putting the 103" kit in a 2000 bike ? The big bore kit for a 88" only took the bike to a 95" . What I am thinking is the 103" kit was ment for the newer ( 07 & up ) 96" motor and there may be some differences in the kits .

Where are you getting the work done in Calgary, sounds like they know what they are doing.
Why is the 103 HO engine more compression?
The cam will change the compression ratio more than a head gasket will.
What changes not static compression?
It is the corrected compression that changes not static compression.#N#The cam changes the timing so the amount of compression in the cylinder when the spark plug fires is the corrected compression.#N#If the spark plug fires before or after the piston is at TDC than the compression changed because the volume of air and fuel is not at the max compression.#N#The different cams change the opening and closing of the valves some open before TDC some open after TDC and the ignition timing is different on most cams this all leads to corrected compression.
